High-altitude terrain along the Continental Divide defines this map, where the boundaries of Clear Creek, Grand, and Gilpin counties meet among the peaks of the Front Range. The settlement of Empire sits in the valley of Clear Creek, serving as a historic gateway for travelers and miners moving toward Rogers Pass or the high alpine lakes. To the north, the landscape rises sharply toward James Peak and Parry Peak, a region characterized by glacial cirques holding bodies of water like Loch Lomond and Saint Marys Lake.
